>Glenn - not to dismiss your experience, but it is Friday the 13th after all and you posted at the end of the work day. My husband and I are always very testy on Fridays after work. It's as if we've put so much energy into the week. We come home, we're tired, physically and mentally, and we each need our private space to get into some other mode. Let me know how you feel tomorrow. In a weakened condition, it's always harder to fight off demons.
